  Speaker 1: BIN News This Hour, I'm Andrea Coleman. Coming up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Because if she wanted to make a private decision, she
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: could do that on Tuesday in the booth. She held
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: a press conference, went to a black church, and stood
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: next to a man who's tried to strip women of
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: their bodily autonomy. And I live in a state where
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: black women have a body count from the anti-abortion laws
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that Mike Rogers supports. And that is deeply, deeply offensive
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: A prominent voting rights icon speaks out against Michigan Congresswoman
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Haley Stevens' endorsement of a Republican candidate.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: My friend George Bush once said, democracy is self-correcting, because
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: God is the correction.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Some Democratic power brokers are showing up in a big
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: way for a black Senate candidate in the Deep South.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But first, here's B.I.N. News Now.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: New York City mayors Ramamdhani is encouraging voters to head
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to the polls Tuesday. Speaking with the Black Information Network's
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Vanessa Tyler, Mamdani criticized Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens for endorsing
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. And frankly, the decision by
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Congresswoman Haley Stevens to endorse the very Republican she said
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: she wanted to run against is a betrayal of those
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: very working class people. Mamdani says he has already voted
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: early and will spend Election Day at City Hall. Georgia's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: governor's race is neck and neck ahead of Tuesday's election.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Recent polls show Republican Rick Jackson and Black Democrat Keisha
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Lance Bottoms virtually tied. Jackson campaigned with Congressman Jim Jordan,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: while Bottoms rallied with former Vice President Kamala Harris. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Black New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is seeking a third
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: term against Republican Justin Murphy. Polls show Booker leading by
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: double digits, with some analysts suggesting a decisive victory could
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: fuel another presidential run in 2028. I'm Amber Payton with
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: BIN News Now. Back to you, Andrea.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We don't hear from voting rights champion Stacey Abrams as
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: often as we did a few years ago, but she
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is talking today. Abrams is among the black and Democratic
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: leaders taking offense with Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsing Michigan
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. Stevens made the announcement yesterday.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: After attending service at a black church, here's what Abrams
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: told MS Now she makes of the situation.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: She used black people as a prop in order to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: pursue an agenda of sore loserness. And having been someone
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: who has not won everything I sought. It is deeply
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: inappropriate to use anyone else to justify your behavior and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to justify your dismay. She said in her press conference, well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: he told her not to come to something. I've been
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: asked not to come to things before. That doesn't mean
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that I then disavow my values. And to use Black
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: people as a prop the week before we have the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: opportunity to elect a U.S. Senate that can restore voting
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: rights in this country— can actually defend the people in
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: this nation, might have the opportunity to select a Supreme
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Court justice. Her personal animus has now overtaken her respect
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: for the black people with whom she worshipped and for
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: every Michigander from whom she has requested a vote. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: take deep exception to her behavior.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The announcement comes after Stevens clashed with Democratic nominee Abdul
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: El-Sayed over Israel and anti-Semitism claims in the battleground Senate race.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It led to El-Sayed reportedly asking her to skip a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: campaign rally that she was supposed to attend yesterday. The
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Michigan State Democratic Party has also removed Stevens from its roles.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You can't put MAGA first.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You have to put Mississippi first.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That was former President Bill Clinton, who campaigned in Tupelo,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Mississippi over the weekend with U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colombe.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'm supporting Scott because he will honestly give you his opinion.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And if you disagree with it, he'll have a conversation
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And if you can change his mind, he'll change his mind. Colombe,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: who is black, is in a challenging race against incumbent
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. State officials say absentee participation is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: running higher than the previous midterm election. Be sure to
